Thursday dismissed as "sheer decep ption" Secretary of State 'Dean Rusk's-recent offer Jtopause in, the bombing of the North in return for peace talks to end the Vietnam war. The statement came in the Nhan Dan newspaper, official voice of the Hanoi government, in an editorial broadcast by Hanoi Radio. The broadcast said the "answer is simple" to why recent U.S. proposals have been rejected failure of the United States to withdraw all of its troops from South Vietnam. "Everyone has seen that these proposals are but sheer decep tion," Nhan Dan said. 4Having realized that the root of the war in Vietnam is U.'S. aggression, the world people, including the Americans, have urged that the root be pulled out."

Viet Allies Will Hold Summit CANBERRA, Australia Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt said Thursday the Vietnam allies would hold a summit con ference in late November or early December. Holt told a news conference the summit, which would be held in either Seoul, South Korea or Bangkok, Thailand, would "be considerably more than just a flourish on the part of those in volved." "The pooling of knowledge of what is going on and what seem to be prospects will leave us all better informed whatever else comes out," the premier said. Guatemalan Wins Nobel Prize STOCKHOLM Author-diplomat Miguel Angel Asturias of Guatemala, who won the Lenin Peace Prize last year for a book which "exposed American intervention against the Guatemalan peoples," Thursday won the Nobel Prize for literature. Asturias, the Guatemalan ambassador to France, was named Nobel laureate on his 68th birthday. He said in Paris the $62,000 award might persuade him to abandon his diplomatic career and turn entirely t literature. The citation from the Swedish Academy of Letters cited Asturias' "highly colored "writings rooted in a national in dividuality and Indian traditions." Defense Attorney Sees Deadlock MERIDIAN, Miss. UPI A deadlocked jury which could mean freedom for all the defendants was predicted Thursday by an attorney for 18 white men charged with conspiring in the 1964 deaths of three civil rights workers. The jury, made up of seven women and five men, got the case late Wednesday and was still hard at the task of deliberation Thursday afternoon with no sign of a verdict in sight. Asked whether he thought the panel was deadlocked, defense attorney Laurel Weir said that he did, and predicted U.S. District Judge Harold Cox would leave the jury locked up until it came in on its own to announce it couldn't decide the case. f ( - toe : ,a W Homecoming Display here 238 persons were jailed in three days of the week. by students and professors.

"The prime purpose of the paper will be to present in telligent dialogue on the war, rather than one sided pro paganda," Lynn said. The tabloid size paper will present comment from college campuses across the state. It will be circulated on about two dozen North Carolina col lege campuses and will be sent to Virginia and South Carolina schools. The ten man staff completed final planning on the first issue Thursday. Anyone interested in ex pressing views on the war in the paper should contact Lynn at N-3, Colony Apartments, 929-5001.

(in 1942) and a Ph.D. (1948), both from Carolina. But his academic career was interrupted twice by the war. In 1939, he was called by the French government to serve in the army (he was still a French citizen) and he stayed -until the French surrender in 1940. He managed to get back - to the U. S. (via North Africa), picked up his master's at Carolina, and in 1942 enlisted in General de Gaulle's Free French Army. In 1945, he returned to Chapel Hill and has been here ever since. He became a naturalized citizen in 1956. As head of one of the largest departments on campus, Hardre wears his responsibility easily. He has a relaxed man ner, smiles quickly an dhis ner, smiles quickly and his cultured voice could easily belong to a Shakespearian ac tor.

The bill calls for the establishment of a department of the Treasury under the ex ecutive branch of student government. The director of the new department would be appointed by the president and would be paid for his services. The director of the Student Activities Fund would be the assistant director of the Treasury Department. "Student Government has a bureaucratic .maze in its finance s y ste m , '"" ' said . Travis. . -,. ; This bill is an attempt to streamline s t u d e n t govern ment. We want to make the Harare one the University now has at Lyon, France. Also, there will be more emphasis on Italian studies at UNC. "Very few universities in the U.

He said that although it was recognized that any educated person required the command of a certain amount of basic information, "the amount and degree of standardization of material and information re quired of all students by this University is an insidious miscarriage of justice."

They don't need a student committee overseeing them." The office of Treasurer would be a salaried position because of the difficulty of the job.- "With the . university . ex panding as rapidly as it is, we cant ask a student to give up a year of . . his - time - to be treasurer without pay. Last year ; $240,000 were spent by student government," "We can get people who specialize in finance B. A. majors, accountants etc." "Student Government financial matters need streamlining badly.
